Event or Problem Description
A non-health care professional reported with a description of damaged haptic.Additional information has been requested, received and stated the product was damaged prior to insertion but could not see detail of damage of haptic until under microscope in patients' eye.The iol was explanted during initial procedure and the procedure was completed with same model and diopter company lens.There was no further patient impact.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information provided in d.9., h.3., h.6.And h.11.The lens case was returned fully disassembled in a plastic bag.The lens was returned adhered by solution to the lens case base.One haptic was bent and torn in the gusset area (still barely attached).The optic was cut in half, typical of insertion and removal.A product device history record review and a non-conformance review of the reported lot number was conducted.The deviation review did not reveal any potential contributing factors to the reported complaint and all corresponding production release specifications defined in the device master record were met.Qualified associated products were indicated.The reported "damaged haptic" was observed.All lenses are 100% inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met alcon¿s release criteria.Based on our observation, and the review of manufacturing records, it can be reasonably concluded that the damage is not manufacturing related.Due to the presence of surgical solution and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.The instructions for use (ifu) instructs: using holding forceps, grasp the lens by the optic edge and gently place the lens anterior side up into the back of the ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd)-filled cartridge.The lens should be inserted until the optic is a little more than half-way inside the cartridge.Use the holding forceps to gently push down on the lens, verifying that the lens is on the bottom surface of the cartridge.Using holding forceps, take the trailing haptic, and gently fold the haptic onto the anterior side of the optic.Slowly grip or push the optic edge to position the lens as far into the cartridge as the forceps will permit, while ensuring the lens remains on the bottom surface of the cartridge and the trailing haptic remains on the optic.Failure to follow these steps may cause the lens to advance incorrectly causing delivery issues and/or damage.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
